I wanted to love this more but it was actually more a sad tale of the beginnings of Jacob Marley, not the uplifting tale of goodwill as promised. I’m not sure why it was called Miss Marley as it was about her brother mainly. Some good writing, perhaps just mis sold as a heartwarming Christmas story.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Child abuse and Death of parent
